Open new lightwave, import object with texture. Does it render the texture? If so, then Lightwave seems to be fine.

Make sure you aren't running out of RAM allowed for Lightwave, that can cause Image map issue often. Are you running 32bit or 64bit?

Do you have an example of what the renders look like when the textures don't render? Is everything black?

Try a load from scene, and load the broken scene into a new one, try again? Any luck?

After modifying textures in Layout, did you press Save Object?
You can use our free plugin SaveSceneAndAllObjects available on http://www.trueart.pl
Make short-cut key for it and press when needed. Much faster than manually going to File > Save > Save All Objects.. then confirming etc. and then going to File > Save > Save Scene..
Just one key press.
